By Transient Design

I've seen them vanish over time,
once so active  
carried by the surge
of inspired commentary
and word therapy,
our colourful cast
gracing each episode
with a few lines,
until they slowly faded
into a brief sighting
and some,
- complete silence
 
But others found the door
and claimed a small lot
in the literary jungle
to sculpt their own pleasures
and acknowledge their pangs
into flash monuments

A few regulars
hung around
into a forth and fifth season
and some never returned
 
Tombstones of inactive avatars
pop up now and again,
for those who didn't  
orchestrate a full wipe
- and the measure left
of lasting impressions,
authored by those
who could write themselves out.
